Riders:David BridgeDes Higgs John Groves John Tranter Karl Blake Paul Bentley Roger Postbeschild Riders = 7 Weather:Report:Seven riders set off in breezy but dry and mild conditions.Unfortunately, neither Des nor Karl had the use of their e-bikes as both are currently in need of repair (doubtless Karl will do his own!). The wind was from SSW - more or less on the nose all the way to Shrivenham. It was quite testing. At our ride leader's instruction, we formed into two groups with Roger leading the larger group and Des and Karl following on at a more comfortable pace - they joined the first group at the ever hospitable Farm Shop Cafe in Shrivenham. We returned in the same groupings with Roger going via Stanford (an attempt to dodge the wind) and Des via Gainfield. No mechanicals - apart from two dead e-bikes! | ||
Distance:47.00 km (29.20 mi) | ||
